Eagles’ RB Miles Sanders not included in PFF all-rookie team

Miles Sanders has had an outstanding rookie season for the Philadelphia Eagles and his dynamic play has been a driving force behind the team’s four-game winning streak and playoff run.

Sanders’s play has been electric during the second half of the season, but it means nothing to Pro Football Focus, who left Sanders off the All-Rookie team, after omitting him from their list of top-50 rookies.

The analytics site used its grading system to determine the top rookies, and Josh Jacobs landed the running back spot ahead of Sanders.

The Jaguars Gardner Minshew got the nod at quarterback, while AJ Brown, Terry McLaurin, and Deebo Samuel made the team at wide receiver.

Sanders finished the regular season with 818 rushing yards on 179 carries and three touchdowns. As a pass-catcher, the dynamic Sanders racked up 50 catches for 509 yards and three touchdowns.
